If Park Bank is liable for not spotting Sujata "Sue" Sachdeva's $34 million embezzlement from Koss Corp. and has to reimburse the company, Koss Chief Executive Michael Koss should also be ordered to personally pay the public company he runs, the bank argues in a new lawsuit.

Grant Thornton, Koss Corp.'s former auditor, should also have to pay a portion of any award that may be ordered, Park Bank argued in the latest twist in a long-running court fight stemming from Sachdeva's massive embezzlement.

"Park Bank denies any and all liability to Koss in this case," the bank said in its action. "Nevertheless, should Park Bank be found liable to Koss (Corp.) and required to pay damages to Koss, in this case, those damages will have been the result of a common liability of Park Bank, Michael Koss and Grant Thornton, thereby entitling Park Bank to (a) contribution from Michael Koss and Grant Thornton."(10)

Gov. Walker is using taxpayer dollars to buy advertising from the JS. See those WEDC (that's his Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation) ads bracketing their "Newswatch" box on the jsonline home page.

Milwaukee doesn't need, doesn't care, and can live without - the Bucks.

Our corporate community isn't large enough to support basketball and baseball, and since we are 100 times more of a baseball town than a basketball town ... there you are. Don't throw hundreds of millions at a new building, it is a waste.

This isn't completely about the Bucks. A new arena will do more than just give the Bucks a new place to play. It will attract other events such as NCAA basketball tournaments, concerts that have an arena with real acoustics, and a multitude of other smaller events. If you think this arena is only for the Bucks, I suggest you open up your imagination and think outside the box.

No, the reason I said open up your imagination was because you thought the arena was meant only for the Bucks, and since they have not been very good lately they don't deserve it. Fact is, that a new arena could bring many events into the area promoting business around it. Did you read my whole post or just what you wanted to read?

Izz, why do you hate Marquette University? Playing in a "pro-venue," the Bradley Center is a huge help to their recruiting, which is the life blood of their program. The gutting of the Big East has made the future of their basketball program even more precarious. If you want to hurt Marquette University, injure their basketball program by making them play their home games in a dilapidated facility.

What makes you think that the build it and they will come scenario will work here? If the new building seats 20,000 or 30,000, is that going to bring the major acts here? What brings the acts is when they can charge $100 for concert tickets and Milwaukee will NEVER be that kind of market. I remember in the 90's when the Red Wings played exhibition games here, and the crowd wasn't much larger than an Admirals game. This city is not, unfortunately, that kind of market.

The amount of taxpayers dollars that would go into this arena would be small. Herb Kohl already said he would give a substantial amount of money towards a new arena, so that the taxpayer burden would be small. I remember reading somewhere that the tax would something around $50 for each taxpayer every year. That is incredibly affordable when you look at the big picture.

And for everyone that thinks this is only for the Bucks, you seriously need to open up your imaginations and think of the other events that a new arena could attract.

These stadiums are a losing deal. They just move entertainment money from one location to another. The restaurant owner in New Berlin loses some of his Saturday crowd to a Bucks game. This is the unintended consequence.

Bradley Center seems to work for Marquette. Bucks don't ever put a winning product on the court so no one goes.

Are you that cheap? I think they have a pretty good idea of how much an arena would cost based on similar new construction of other NBA arenas. You seriously think that they don't have figures to make estimates?

You say "Only about $50 per year". But let's look at the entire picture. 50 bucks for this, 20 dollars for that, 40 bucks for this thing, another 30 bucks for that thing over there. Oh and throw in some more money so Barrett can have his trolley.

Now we're talking about some money. That's what happens when you look at the entire picture rather than saying that this is only this much per year or that thing is only so much per year. They're all such little things, right? But they add up to the point that they are a whopping big thing.

So save your "it's only about $50 per year" arguement for those that don't see through the smoke and mirrors that you're throwing up.

I didn't agree with the trolley either, so I am with you there. Building a new arena is a much better option to better the city than a trolley. I am not telling you how to spend your money, but you make it sound like a huge financial burden that will make or break your budget.

I guess it all depends on what you think is consistent. The last two years the Brewers have had a winning record and the same is true for the last 3 of 4. Much better than the 20 consecutive seasons of not making the playoffs for the Pirates.

It's not the Bucks alone, it's the NBA too. The odds are stacked against any small market team in the NBA. Stern has made it more about stars than teams and he wants the stars in big markets. Ticket prices are high and the entertainment value is low.

Stern will be gone in 2014. And BIGBADBUCK I grew up in the 90's too. Yea it was rough, but the Bucks were pretty good then. The Bradley Center was thriving, but we are past that point in time and need to build a new arena. I consider 4 years of winning baseball consistent. Maybe I am slighty biased with my love for sports, but a new venue has many more things to offer than just sports.

OOT1: Great point, one that I intend to remember next Tuesday when I vote in the US Senate race. Remember old "Stick it to 'em" Tommy"?

To aaron4mvp who keeps beating this drum, it is not about being cheap, at least not for me. I simply object to billionaire owners expecting the taxpayers to pay for a "workplace" for their millionaire employees. Employees are who hired guns who "work" in a facility that sits idle much of the time and underused at other times. It is simply not a good business decision to use public money for such things and that includes Miller Park.

For the record Herb Kohl is not a billionaire. So you are saying that at this point in time Miller Park was a bad decision? I hope you don't attend Brewers games then. You wouldn't want to be a hypocrite would you? If the amount of public money that is used is significantly lower than what was paid for Miller Park would most people still object? Herb Kohl said that his contribution would not be insignificant. If anything the taxpayer burden would be less than the beautiful ball park we all payed for.

"Green" is the new "chic." The best way to lengthen the use of the stability is to reduce its carbon footprint.

The Philadelphia Eagles' Lincoln financial field made what appears to be a poor investment in vertical axis wind turbines. http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/09/06/theres-a-windmill-on-the-field-why-pro-sports-are-going-green/

Most of the research I see says horizontal axis turbines deliver a better ROI, but there are safety concerns putting them in densely populate areas.

Building the roof in a way that is open to leasing it to solar providers might make the most sense. High tech concentrated solar solutions may offer a better ROI than solar panels.

Partnering with the Milwaukee Art Museum and other local Art museums has always made sense to me. For decades my Mom would attend Marquette basketball games with my Dad. She had marginal interest in the game and significantly less in listening to my Dad berate the refs. My guess is her situation was not unusual. I have always thought my Mom and others like her would have enjoyed the games at the Bradley Center more if her ticket allowed she and her friends the opportunity to browse art work. MAM and other Milwaukee area Museums have plenty of work that sits in storage.

Another interesting option is to consider using WISCONSIN timber to replace steel.

"....Steel and glass may not shape our skyscrapers in years to come, as architects rethink the potential of wood. Forget the Shard: steel and glass may not be the building material of the future. Architects are rethinking the potential of wood, thanks to innovations in structural engineering. An open-source research study, published by Michael Green of MGB Architecture and Design, makes the case for timber as “a safe, economical and environmentally-friendly alternative for tall building structure. ....”

Governor Walker betrayed the conservatives who backed him in the 2010 election and in the recall election by "giving" 5 million dollars to this "hole in the groung." This is what I would have expected from the past governor, a Democratic. My lingering sores aren't even healed from the dollars the Miller Park Board has stole from me. Governor Walker should never have given tax dollars to keep millionaire owner Kohl in business. If you want a new building for the Bucks, build it with private funds and stay out of my wallet you blood sucking leechers, and I mean you, Sheehy
